Ahh, that fertile period when rhythm and blues was being pilfered for rock 'n' roll. How many early rockers gave proper credit to the original artists? How many introduced a song "Now were gonna do a song from a record by Tiny Bradshaw, who really is sumpin', you should check him out."? Uh, none. Or even "Paul here is going to knock it out with a killer guitar tone which is really the thing that makes it all okay for you crazy white kids to get off on it" for that matter? Too busy counting their cover version semi-ill gotten gains, touring and combing their goddamn duck tails, shit, and getting laid. The injustice.
